Jameela Jamil

For anyone who feels like their life is one disaster after another: good news–you’re not alone. Jameela Jamil (The Good Place, She-Hulk) gathers her funny friends and they share their most mortifying and embarrassing stories. Crucially, there are no morals and no silver linings. They are simply here to revel in each others’ misfortune. Wrong Turns: where dignity goes to die.

I Weigh with Jameela Jamil

Jameela Jamil is joined by comedy icon Margaret Cho (New album Lucky Gift, All That We Love movie in theaters November) and social worker turned standup comedian, actor, and writer Brandi Denise (Vulture Top Comics 2024, LOL! Live with Brandi Denise, Hulu) for an uncomfortably funny chat about their biggest personal disasters. 

This isn’t a pep talk, it’s a pile-on. From terrible diets and onstage mishaps to the mortifying moments you can never unsee, the three trade stories that remind us no one’s got it together (least of all them).

Together, they and Jameela trade stories about growth, boundaries, and choosing laughter over shame.

Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Jameela finds out what it's like to be on the business end of the comedy duo that is Jason and Randy Sklar (Sklar Brothers, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Better Call Saul, Dumb People Town podcast). Together they discover the extent to which a hot air balloon ride can go wrong, what dirty joke your uptight neighbor would rather not hear, and why Jameela will never be allowed to have another dinner in the dark.

Comedians Erin Jackson (Late Night with Seth Meyers, Grudgery special) and Josh Gondelman (Desus & Mero, Positive Reinforcement special) join Jameela Jamil to swap their most undignified disasters.

Erin relives the day she was booed off stage at the National Mall - on two jumbotrons, in front of her parents, and the time she literally fell off the stage at her home club’s grand reopening. Josh recalls a Thanksgiving so disastrous it ended with puking in the tub before meeting his in-laws, and a college romance derailed by an overly enthusiastic Bon Jovi-themed care package.

Jameela shares her own humiliations - including breaking her nose on live TV - as the trio find catharsis in failure, fart jokes, and the fine art of refusing to let go of a grudge.

Jameela welcomes long time friends Annie Lederman (Anniewood Podcast, Terrifier 3) and David Dastmalchian (Murderbot, The Dark Knight, Grave Conversations). Together, they discover how many snakes is too many, what not to do in front of a chain gang, and why no one should ever have a white couch.

We had so much fun with Russell Howard, Judi Love and Grace Campbell at the London Podcast Festival that we couldn't fit it all into the episode, so here's a bonus audience Misery Loves Company submission that we're calling "AKA That's Why Heather's Not Here", because "Tongue Punch My Fart Box" didn't seem great for the algorithm. Enjoy (but not around kids)!

Jameela takes a harrowing journey with Zach Noe Towers (Good Sod Pod, up-coming live dates) and Jacquis Neal (NBC's Grand Crew , Comedian Clash), which includes the thing you NEVER say to a woman, the least fun Coachella ever, and a race against time that ends with tears. So many tears.

Impractical Jokers Sal Vulcano (TERRIFIED standup special on HBO Max, Everything’s Fine tour on-sale now) and Brian Quinn (New season of Impractical Jokers TBS) join Jameela to share stories of shameful hook-ups, firehouse disasters, even more bee attacks and a listener submission that might’ve been a Right Turn for the teenage boy who got to witness it.

This episode is wildly funny, celebrates female friendship, and delves into the depths of human misery and despair. Fun! Jameela is joined by writers and comedians Katherine Blanford (The Tonight Show, "Catholic Cowgirl" Special) and Jamie Loftus (Star Trek: Lower Decks, Bestseller "Raw Dog"). Come for the cringe-inducing public twerking, stay for the story of getting dumped for an inanimate object.
